Spiritual direction is the art of holy listening with another person that they may draw closer to the divine life within them. This practice looks remarkably different for everyone—as different as their own fingerprints.

I bring a wealth of theological and spiritual formation, but most importantly, my experience in faith and prayer anchor me in this practice. This includes times of dryness and wandering as much as moments of grace and fidelity. I'm committed to exploring matters of the heart and spirit in ways that honor our social identities and commitments to justice. I especially enjoy accompanying people as they discern their vocation, and those whose commitments have left them feeling dry or exhausted. At this stage in my own life, I'm just seeking to be faithful, radically present, and to let go of whatever gets in the way of union with God in Christ in a deeply animate world. I welcome people from any religious background or none and have been profoundly encouraged by many other faith traditions. You can read more about my background here. I offer both online and in-person meetings at my home in South Pasadena. Meetings for spiritual direction usually occur monthly for one hour.
